Veggie Tortellini Soup
As the fall breeze kicked back up again this week, my veggie tortellini soup recipe was calling my name. I fill it with a ton of my favorite vegetables and switch it up a bit when my taste buds crave a little something different. It’s an incredibly easy recipe to throw together, so grabbing whatever veggies are in your fridge will do just fine too.
Here’s What You’ll Need:
Ingredients:
- 6-8 cups of vegetable broth
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 squash, sliced and cut into fours
- 1 zucchini, sliced and cut into fours
- 1 cup celery, sliced
- 1 cup cabbage, chopped
- 1 tbsp garlic, minced
- 8-10 oz tortellini
- 1 tsp oregano
- salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
- Boil water and cook tortellini according to directions, then drain and set aside
- Heat oil and garlic on medium-low then sauté squash and zucchini for 3 minutes
- Add in celery and cabbage and sauté an additional 3-4 minutes, seasoning to taste
- Add vegetable broth and tomato sauce to your tortellini and stir over medium heat for several minutes
- Add veggies into soup base and season to taste
Eating Healthy
Let’s Be Honest – we haven’t all spent our 2020 taking as much care of ourselves as we should, whether it’s physically or mentally. The state of the world has taken a toll and I for one have spent too much time either on the couch or baking sweets! Sometimes I need a little reminder what a difference a simple healthy dish can make.
It felt good enjoying a hot bowl of soup with veggies that were filling me with vitamins and nutrients. Sometimes it takes that sluggish feeling to remind me I’m in need of a health boost. And, while it looks light and refreshing, it’s actually quite filling. I enjoy a bowl for lunch and leftovers make a great side dish with dinner. And while the kiddos aren’t always the biggest veggie eaters, they get a bit of the good stuff while trying to fish out the tortellini if I dice up some smaller vegetable pieces.
We’d love to hear what vegetables you plan to mix into your tortellini soup this week. Let us know how it turns out!
